The type of music you listen to makes a big difference.
If you optimize your bass for rap beats, it won't be optimized for rock, and vise versa. A box tuned to 40hz is pretty low. For me, bass below 40hz is something I "feel" more than I "hear". I like bass optimized around 60-80hz. I set my bass amp crossover at 100hz. Subsonic filter would be 35hz, if I had one. I listen to rock and metal. My main 6 1/2" speakers are set with a high-pass filter at 125hz. So they play nothing below that frequency. My system is missing frequencies between 100 and 125hz. I don't even notice. I tried setting my bass amp filter at 80hz, but I lose a little mid-bass. ( The bass guitars ) So 100hz is best for my system. My ported box "sounds" to me like it is tuned for around 65hz, although I am sure the actual tuning freq is probably a little lower. The typical rule-of-thumb is: rap music = big ported box. rock = sealed box. The type of sub and amp (power) is also important. I'm no expert, but I do mess around with this stuff from time to time. Just my $.02 YMMV
